Dear All,
We would like to propose to consider draft-francois-ordered-fib-00.txt
as a working group document. This draft was presented in Paris and no
objections were raised. It proposes techniques to order the FIB updates
in an IP network using a link state routing protocol to avoid transient
forwarding loops. We believe that this draft is important for the fast
reroute work done within this WG, but also as a standalone document.
Measurements performed in IP networks show that planned topology changes
are very common. For example, [1] reports that in the Sprint network,
20% of the topology changes are due to maintenance operations. We
discussed this issue with several ISPs that confirmed that correctly
handling the non-urgent topology changes was an important problem to be
solved.
You can find the current version of the draft on the IETF web site
